Bhutan

Bhutan, a serene Buddhist kingdom tucked between India and China, remains one of the world’s most secluded and captivating destinations. Long mistaken for Tibet on 19th-century European maps, Bhutan only introduced television and the internet in 1999—adding to its timeless mystique. With pristine landscapes, traditional dress worn daily, and a culture rooted in harmony, Bhutan offers a rare glimpse into a way of life untouched by rapid modernization. Tobacco is banned, marijuana grows wild, archery is the national sport, and progress is measured not by GDP, but by Gross National Happiness.
